Kordahi Stresses 'National Dignity', Says Awaiting Miqati's Return

W460

Embattled Information Minister George Kordahi has announced that the diplomatic crisis with Saudi Arabia “has turned into an issue of national dignity.”

“I totally understand and feel the plight of the Lebanese abroad and their fear of any measures that might target them, but the matter has turned into an issue of national dignity,” Kordahi told ad-Diyar newspaper in remarks published Tuesday, in response to a question about possible further escalation by the Gulf countries.

“I’m not clinging to a post nor to a job, but the issue has exceeded that to reach dignities,” Kordahi added.

Moreover, he said that he is waiting for Prime Minister Najib Miqati to return from the climate summit in Glasgow to “put all cards on the table and reach a decision on which we both agree.”

“The entire issue is being studied… When the premier returns, possibly with new feedback after the meetings he is holding, I will sit with him and we’ll take a decision based on the information he will have gathered,” Kordahi added.

Asked about the “timing” of his possible resignation, the minister said: “Let’s wait for the premier’s return. We’ll sit and talk and act accordingly.”

A man who has sold his honor, soul, and dignity to Iran and Assad is lecturing about dignity.

Absolutely Marcus. This guy is of the lowest category of human beings.
He is sold to the cause of greater syria.
He embraces Hezbollah and their disgusting ideology.
He is a lackey and a mouth piece.
He symbolises perfectly our government. Shame on us...

Qurd-ahi is Assad's man. He is of Syrian origin. He, Franjieh and Assad go hunting in Syria on a regular basis. Last hunting trip was in July 2021.

Kordahi's dignity is not Lebanon's. Kordahi trashed his own dignity, not Lebanon's. Lebanon's dignity will be fine without him ... better, actually, for having stood for principle.

بالصورة: «يافطة» مُسيئة في طريق المطار بعد مغادرة البخاري: بدنا نشطف البلد!

وكأن لبنان لا يكفيه ازمته الدبلوماسية مع المملكة العربية السعودية والخليج العربي، الا ان بعض الاحزاب ومناصريها يصرّون على افتعال الاشكالات مع كافة الدول التي لها سفراء في البلاد. فبعد مغادرة عدد من السفراء العرب من لبنان عقب تصريحات وزير الاعلام جورج قرداحي، انتشرت صورة عبر مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي تُظهر يافطة في طريق المطار كتب عليها: “كل دولة بعد الها لبش وكراكيب تشيلهن، عمنهوفر وبدنا نشطف البلد”. يأتي ذلك عقب مغادرة السفير السعودي وليد البخاري والدبلوماسيين الإماراتيين والبحرينيين من لبنان.

As if Miqati has any say. When re people going to stop beating around the bush and just call it as is that the Hizbos rule Lebanon and take all the decisions.

You are a fool. You are useless. Your portfolio is useless. Your cv is that of a stpid presentator. Step aside and let professionals work.

and who are you to decide a judge is biased?
who are you to carry weapons outside state control?
who are you to go fight wars in foreign countries?
who are you to threaten and kill those opposed to your barbaric way of life?
who are you to declare war when given orders by your paymasters?
who are you to paralyze cabinet work and prevent it from holding sessions?

I know who you are: shia Iranian followers of wilayat al faqih who have taken Lebanon and its people hostage.

Is this Useful Idiot for real? Does he assume people stupid or with short memory? When was honor and dignity when top Lebanese were summons by Syrian intelligence and humiliated to infinity, when Assad/Nassrallah criminal assassins killed Lebanon best in the hundreds? Enough bullshit. Kordahi, Frangieh, Bassil, Aoun, Nassarallah and all criminal Useful Idiots who knew they were destroying Lebanon for personal benefit and foreign favors should rot in prison for any grain of justice to all the suffering and humiliation they caused!
